Angelina Jolie Twins Conceived Through In Vitro?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt turned to fertility treatments to conceive twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, reports Us Weekly.
“They conceived through in vitro fertilization,” a source tells the mag. “They both desperately wanted more babies soon.”
Apparently the chance of having fraternal twins at Angelina’s age (33) naturally is under 1 percent; with in vitro, the chances are 25 percent.
Continues the source, “[Angie did it so] she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. She could just knock it out.”
FYI: In vitro fertilization costs around $12,000 per procedure.

ROTFLMAO! Holy crap! THROWDOWN AT MIRAVAL!
i think its funny to say “she didnt want the stress of trying to get pregnant so she did invitro” whoever said this must not know about in vitro because between the pills, suppositories, needles, hormone craze, it is wayyyyyyy more stressful and can cause complications like breast cancer
what the hell how is this story us weekly’s or just jared’s fault ? this story was out there from day one it was every where so why crazy brad/angelina fans act like it is us weekly who spread it it is not like that the rumor that they had in vitro has been circulating for a long time now
ROTFL ! Poor US Lies Weakly. NOBODY believes this story. A few minutes ago a local radio station was doing their celeb gossip roundup and the female DJ starts talking about this story. She does the intro, “US Weekly claims that Angelina Jolie, who once said she’d only adopt, was so desperate to get pregnant that she and BRAD PITT(read it with awe, lust and a few exclamation marks) did in vitro fertilization.”
This proclamation is met by silence. The male DJ was started and finally blurts, “WHAT?! Your kidding me! IT’S BRAD PITT!!! I want to have Brad Pitt’s baby!”
So the female says, “Yah! Pretty much everybody does…and we want to do it the old-fashioned way. I can’t imagine that ANGELINA JOLIE (read it with awe, lust and a few exclamation marks) is any different!”
Then she proclaimed the story “totally ridiculous” and “stupid”…and then they started talking about Jennifer Garner being knocked up. I really don’t think this is the reaction US expected…
There is nothing wrong with IVF! i don’t understand why some people are so upset with Jared and US.
You people cannnot believe AJ had IVF, but you CAN believe you have a 27 year old surgeon on here continually posting??????????
PT of course you are all UP in this thread, all you like to do is argue reproach and correct is all there is to you?
1. Twins are more common in women over 30.
2. IVF is a long and complicated process.
Even if a couple is having trouble conceiving it is usually the “last
step”, according to medical best practice.
3. These “inside sources” always seem to report news when the Jolie-Pitts refuse to provide information. Like the “inside source” that fooled ET into believeing that the twins were born in May, or the “Inside source” that reported a wedding for the Jolie-Pitts on George Clooney’s estate.
Honestly I do not know how any celeb survives all the crap that is written about them on a daily basis.
US Magazine got exactly the reaction they were expecting. They don’t care what someone on a radio station is saying. Those people are probably sane. Sorry, but some in here do act like they’ve flipped off the deep end. They care what the core celebrity fans think. The people from the radio stations probably aren’t going to go out and buy the magazine, it’s the bickering fans who will. I don’t know why people haven’t figured this out already.
Some people DO believe US Weekly , if they didn’t you wouldn’t have all this bickering. Why are even Jolie-Pitt fans acting like having IVF is a plague? If you REALLY believe the story is not true, why don’t you move on? Some of the info given out about IVF on here is not true. It’s a good idea to at least research something before you make a sweeping statement about it. As gullible as some are, it wouldn’t surprise me if they took what they see printed here as gospel.
Now this has become about Jennifer Aniston. I know it’s hard to talk about rationality in an insane asylum but here’s a news flash, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JENNIFER ANISTON.
Oh, btw. .. Good Morning all. :-)

IVF is a long and complicated process.
Even if a couple is having trouble conceiving it is usually the “last
step”, according to medical best practice.
I did my research on IVF by asking five medical personnel, three nurses and two doctors, and all of them agreed that IVF is long, complicated, arduous, could be very painful at times, only recommended AFTER three to five years of infertility, and usually the last resort.
What I hate about this US Weekly article is it makes it appear that IVF is a walk in the park, especially if you have the money. It makes light of the process, thereby undermining those who actually are undergoing IVF — they make it seem like it’s just one of the cosmetic surgeries that movie stars undergo where you go into the clinic, snip snip and voila, done!!! Thank goodness I no longer buy, or even remotely glance, at US Weekly magazine.
LET US STOP BUYING TABLOIDS -THAT’S THE POINT!
Forbes article claimed the following:–
1) Angie’s pay 14M
2) Jen’s pay 27 M
3) period covered: June 2007 - June 2008
Forbes article also said the figure is taken from entertainment income, meaning endorsements are NOT included in the figure.
We dont know how Forbes calculate the income. Did they use the earnings after the movie was shown in theatre or did they use the amount an actor got paid the minute the film is wrapped?
My take on this:–
1) Looking at Aniston, she had no movie in the theatre during said period, yet Forbes reported Aniston made 27M. Therefore, Forbes must have used the amount she earned when the movie FINISHED filming.
During said period, Aniston finished filming Traveling, Management, He’s not into you. Therefore,
Traveling + He’s not into you + Management + friends residual = 27 M
This means Aniston get less than 10M per film.
Aniston’s number is higher than Angie because during this period because she made 3 films, think QUANTITY !!!.
2) For Angie, using the SAME criteria in calculating her income, she only filmed one movie during this period, and that is WANTED. She did not film Changeling until November. Therefore,
Wanted = 14M
That means Angie got higher pay per movie than Aniston. Angie chose to work less because of her children and her UN work. That explained why she’s not churning movie after movie, and that explains why her number is lower than Aniston.
Aniston, on the other hand, does NOT GIVE BACK. She spends her time making so-so movies.

Have you read the article? You mean you CANNOT DIFFERENTIATE facts from “made up story” ?
If you can come up with FACTS, and if you the article makes sense, then I shall believe it.
If you believe this story, then you must believe Jennifer Aniston is DESPERATE to propose, and that Jennifer Aniston kicked Kimberly Stewart, and that Jennifer Aniston is extremely jealous of any younger female.
You have problem with your LOGIC !!!!.
Can’t believe people are complaining about Shi not having on a helmet. first place, we are not to suppose to be looking at these photos! The photos are a violation of papz being on their private property and should be charged with trepazzing. The pics of Angie’s changing clothes, who cares, old news. So gone from that.
About how Angie got preg, who cares! The babies are here and beautiful!
Mom and babies are doing fine. The family is together and having fun! Love how Doug is always there. He is a great brother. Glad mom and dad are there also. Wonder where the rest of the Pitt clan are sister, family and if Doug’s wife is there?
Love to the Jolie-Pitts. I was laughing due to recalling Angie saying in an interview, they don’t know what size automobile they will have to get, probably a van! They need to check with Kate and Jon on “Kate and Jon plus 8.
We will probably not see the Jolie-Pitt bunch out together with all 6 for a long time.
What happen to the Greece trip tale in the previous post? Wonder where that tale came from?
jpf, u don’t know me but am a lurker for a loooong time. why u only blame clini??????….does this the owner of this sites listen to her?…..there’s also a lot of factor’s involved. she is not the only lone person ragging on ex , there’s those other regulars, the haters, trollers, etc. if people don’t respond to her writings or just skip it. don’t u think why j.j diddn’t ban her and so are the vile posters BECOZ anybody who give hits to his blog is MONEY!!!! …whether it is pro-jolie-pitts or not!…..and why are u making a big deal about cliniqua?….is she tht powerful ?……tht her presence on this blog could mean trouble?…..NO!….the more discussions, the more jared loves it becoz MONEY. if jared wants his blog to be peaceful , he can do so but he is a business this is his BREAD & BUTTA….. for u to imagine tht only clini brings the trouble, i BELIEVE jared don’t THINK so , otherwise all the troublemakers hv disappeared completely . it’s just a fact of life” people live for others in order to live” call it ” bloodsuckers ” but its a vice versa thing of life cycles u know.
as for jared, i don’t feel a fan owe him much or shld really thank him. well, i guess if he honors ur request then ” thank U” but other thn tht, i don’t think so,WHY?…..in the first place fans come to this site becoz they want info about the jp’s. since jared seem like gentle site as they say, lots of fans lurk and gathered here. 2nd attraction to this site w/c i would say a tie between the first is…………OF COURSE THE DIVERSE,INTELLIGENT,INFORMATIVE ,TALENTED ,ELOQUENT JOLIE-PITT fans!. if u look from other sites and blogs , u can’t see much kind of these people, all mediocre opinions ,writings and discussion. here in jj on jp threads u learn a LOT of THINGS not only about the jp but other very informative topics tht is helpful in our basic life and WE LIKE IT. well, go to dilisted, perez or ff, if u can find intelligent discussion and who would want to be so intelligent when ur dealing w/ stupids. u might just as well join them. SO HONESTLY IT’sTHE FANS THT ATTRACT THE HATERS AND TABLOID SPY TO THIS SITE. if u look who’s thread had the most hits….of course the jolie-pitts, the haters are stalking becoz they are tired of sparring with their fellow no-brainer. tht’s why jared shld also be thankful to the fans more for making these as a haven or vice versa.
to the jpf,pls. don’t blame one person becoz theres a lot of factor here. and yes , she has followers or admirers becoz obviously the girl is intelligent & talented,even she go way overboard but so are the others. if jared want to ban her , it’s his call not urs my friend. another thing the haters & fans responding to the haters or fake fans back n’ forth. also those policing as if they are superior thn others and other fans wht to post and wht to talk. it’s either fans & haters ,fans to fans ,haters replying to their own post w/ another name and haters posing as fans. i also believe jared liked the way it is!…take it or leave it.
ps. if u hv the power , u shld tell jared to ban her personally, i’m sure u won’t get a reply, for him she is one of the hitmaker , so are the other populars like pt,trt,jill,lilian and other’s tht escaping my mind right now, oh and so is the newbie ONMYOWN is getting popularity. well, some other lurkers,just enjoyed the spar of the minds minus the cussing part.

This is such great posts, ITAWU.
Hope SAL don’t mind if I post again.
I think the most important thing is to
EDUCATE the public on critical thinking skill.
Those who follow the story on the INTERNET
I dont think Brad and Angie care about this us mag article.
There have been many lies written by intouch, star, us mag etc. This would be just another article.
In the future, I’m sure when Angie does magazine interview, she will clarify this. I’m sure the interviewer will ask about this question.
However, I do think Brad and Angie are concerned about their pictures being taken on their property. This means TRESPASSING !!!!
I think we fans love this family so much so that we’re OUTRAGED on any lies written about them.
I’m sure those who get the “fix” on celebrities on the internet would know this story is PURE SPECULATING, even the Aniston’s fans know deep in their hearts, although they wont admit that .
Will us mag sell many copies this week? I’m sure they will and Janice Min knew that. She knew that’s why intouch mag put a story on Brad/Angie every single week, and Janice Min wants a piece of the action.
There is still a segment of the population that dont use the internet for celebrity news, and this is the group of people who may buy the tabloids.
May be what we need is educating the public in CRITICAL THINKING SKILL, into deciphering what is fact and what is tabloid.
NIKE - US WEEKLY’S CIRCULATION IS DOWN FROM WHAT WE ARE READING. EVEN THOSE WHO ARE NOT ON THE INTERNET EVENTUALLY KNOW THE MAGAZINES LIE.

=====================================
ITA. More and more people are laughing at Lies Weekly. People on the internet are ridiculing Lies Weekly.
Only insane and desperate people who cannot bring down this beautiful and blessed family close their eyes to the truth.
That cover story is a bold face lie. That’s the problem, not that she had in vitro. Although any thinking person would question the story anyway. If it were truly in vitro, it would have been casually mentioned just like it was casually mentioned that Shiloh was in a breech position. No fan fare, no firewoks, no screaming headlines. Just a matter of fact statement from Angelina as she described Shiloh’s birth. The fact that US has to SCREAM that headline as if like WOAH! proves that it is a lie. All those dumb magazines swore that Brad & Angie were having twin girls. Those magazines lied yet again! US is trying to get some eyes to their magazines. Who will read this magazine? Fans of Brad & Angelina are certainly not the consumers of this type of nonsense so who are they pandering to? US made it very difficult because a lot of people believe these magazines are really true. The good thing is that with so many mistakes made public recently by shows like Entertainment Tonight, Showbiz Tonight, OK, Outtatouch and now US, no one really believes anything from these places unless the celebs are actually giving the quotes in real time on television.
How many lies must these gossip magazines tell before all you dummies out there stop giving them money?
How many different “complete wedding details” have we had?
How many “all the details” of adoptions of Katrina oprhans have we had?
Please.
suzana @ 07/25/2008 at 5:40 am wtf?is this supposed to be a bad thing?since when IVF is crime?in which country?U S?
***************
There’s nothing wrong with In Vitro. It’s only the JP loons who have made it so by pitching a holy hissy fit whenever IVF has been mentioned re: the twins.
oh yeah @ 07/25/2008 at 12:24 am # 377 (To joy, Casual & handsomedude) -
I have only this to say to all of you haters why don’t you go to FEMALE FIRST, D-listed and MediaLady site posters there are the worst bunch of CRAZY People posting in the internet with their over the top hate with Jolie . Ugly is the just an ordinary language with those people .. all you can read on those sites are nasty words and words one can expect to hear on the hood/slum area… goes to show the mentality of the jeniloonies like you.
———————————————————————————————–
First off “oh yeah’, I am in no way a “hater.” I have been a supporter of both Jen and Angie here, as well as other places. It seems the others who flock here are the ones who want to keep them pinned together, even though they clearly have moved on.
Second off, I have never visited the web sites you mentioned and have never even heard of two of them, so maybe you should go to them seeing the ugly-hate seems to be your taste.
Third off, I am neither a jeniloonie nor an angeloonie. Whatever that means. I just speak the truth, but speaking of “mentality” — I guess using that “loonie” line is the only way the truly ignorant feel they can discredit the sane.
Find God, find His Son, find peace, so you can find a life worth living.
God be with this world — it is going straight to Hell…
